Since then, we've gone on to become 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:24.239 Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times best selling authors. 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.800 Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:30.200 was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable. 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.080 Be wrong, or but most importantly be us. 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.760 But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.159 we and through it all, one thing has never changed. 0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:44.040 This is a semasters because we got a lot to talk. 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:48.479 About story time, so trouble shout out to Triple Trible. 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.040 Always hold us accountable, of course, but also ask the question, 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.040 and I think also holds its accountable. As people have 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.720 I have acquired a lot of things, but ask a question. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.080 Tell us a story about a time you've used your 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.920 wealth to help people moving forward. And if you guys 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.840 know us, you know that this is what we do. 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.480 But I want to use this story in particular because 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.920 I wasn't wealthy at the time. We weren't wealthy at 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.840 the time we were doing this. This is back in 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.760 twenty ten. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.200 Oh man, what's the anti wealthy? 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.240 We was anti wealthy, but we had wealth in different 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:23.000 ways because we had noted. Indeed, one thing Kadeen and 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.560 I always did and we always do, is open our 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:26.840 home to children. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:28.840 I've been a mentor. 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.680 Kadeen has been a mentor to these kids as well, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.520 because Lord knows, when they come to coach Devo's house, 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.360 somebody got to feed them and make sure they're good. 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.480 So Kadeen and I have been mentors. 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.479 And from two thousand and ten to I believe twenty 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.880 and nineteen, Kadeen and I helped along with my brother 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:48.800 briandlow Rick. It was a team of us. We helped 0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.320 over four hundred young men and women get to college. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:51.840 Right. 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:54.360 The reason why I'm talking about the Wealth Party is 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:58.880 because I had applied with Marcel Vernon, who shout out 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.880 to Marcel verning he was an executive at Cushman in 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.360 Wake another dude who acquired a lot of wealth, who 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.040 invested in me to help me open up the gym 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:09.080 at Aviator and then Pacplex. He was like, yo, I 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.000 can write grants I want to write a grant to 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.160 help get some funds into the program, and then those 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.360 funds we get into the program, we can utilize them 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.640 for some more robust things in the community. He was 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:21.040 able to write a grant and we were able to 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.200 get one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.400 And what we did with that money was we didn't 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.960 pocket a penny of it. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.520 We spent most of it to pay off the rent 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:34.760 for the gym, and then with the money it was left. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.680 The money was about sixty thousand dollars for the gym 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:38.639 because it was five thousand a month, so if that's 0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.760 sixty minus the one to fifty is ninety K. We 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.520 put all of that money into five mentors and we 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.280 let the five mentors divide the ninety k we paid 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.640 them every month. Those were guys who had graduated from 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.359 college who didn't make it to the NFL at NBA, 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:56.040 but wanted to figure out how to become I don't 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:58.720 want to say civilians, but they're no longer professional athletes 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.440 or athletes. They had to get to that second phase 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.000 of life and they were kind of confused. 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.400 So I was like, why are you confused? 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:08.120 Utilize this money for the next two years mentor kids 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.400 younger than you, so we put them in two seventy two. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:11.760 Shout out to Dakota Keys. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.840 She was a principal at the time who allowed our 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:16.120 program to even exist. 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.160 But we took the funds, we paid the mentors. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.800 We made sure that we serviced the community, but we 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.399 serviced the children in the community while serving the young 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:25.640 adults in the community. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.840 It's like the ultimate paid forward. I feel like it was. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:29.680 I'm so proud of that. 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.040 But you know why it was so particularly helpful then 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.720 and just in general now we look at where we 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.480 come from, you know, the towns, the flaws, and you know, 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.560 there were so many children who came from if it 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.520 wasn't a single parent home, there were like two working parents, 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:48.760 middle class, hard working individuals who sent their children away 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:49.200 to school. 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.920 And then you come home and it's just like, Okay, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.320 how do I now start? How do I acclimate to 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:54.200 the real world? 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.240 And far too often you find children who will resort 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.000 to something like scamming because it's like that's just the fast, 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.760 easy way to make money in a time where it's 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.040 like you need to be able to make money and contribute. 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:05.920 But this was a way to kind of ease them 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.480 into society so they felt like, Okay, I have something. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:10.800 This is not in Vain. I didn't go to school 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:11.200 in Vain. 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.800 But I'm also helping children younger than me in the 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.480 process while being able to sustain myself a bit until 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.200 we figure out what the next phase of life is 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:18.640 going to be. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:20.720 So, for example, Roger was one of. 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:23.520 Those things where Roger and absolutely love that Roger was 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.239 able to take that opportunity to propel him into getting 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.960 his degree, becoming a teacher, and then now a full 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.520 time tutor, having his own business. 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.679 Like it's just been an amazing success story to see. 0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.640 Roger is the perfect example of what happens when you 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.960 pay it forward. I met Roger when he was sixteen. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:40.560 He and I went to the same high school, of 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.560 course different times, because I graduated two thousand and two 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.000 Roger graduated, I believe in twenty ten. And we never 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.200 crossed paths while in Madison because I was in college 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:52.400 and ultimately playing in the NFL, but Roger was trying 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.160 to figure out how to get a college scholarship. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:56.560 And Roger came to the gym every day and. 0:04:56.520 --> 0:05:00.440 Worked and worked and worked and worked and absolutely then 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.960 he walked on to c W Post had an opportunity 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.320 to earn a scholarship was about five thousand dollars short 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.680 used group economics went to We had four hundred athletes 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.440 at the time. I went to all of them moms 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.039 and dad say, hey, if anybody got anything to donate, 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:16.200 we want to help Roger get. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:16.880 To school so that he can pay his He had. 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.520 It was a five thousand dollars bill that if he 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.159 didn't pay it, he couldn't register. 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.400 To register the classes in the. 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.680 Fold, Joe, Naisha, all the moms got together, miss like yo, 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:25.359 twenty dollars. 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:26.920 Who got what together? 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.800 Joan went back to her job and then raised more 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.520 funds from her job. We ended up raising I think 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.200 it's about fifty five hundred dollars. We cut a check 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.760 to the school and whatever was left over we gave 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.359 to Roger so that he had some money in his 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.720 pocket to go back to school. Roger goes back in 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.839 the summertime and earns a full scholarship to c W Posts. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.520 And you know what Roger did, He paid it forward. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.000 He went back to c W Post. 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:49.560 Everybody's like, yoa, what did you do to get so 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.040 good and he's like got trained that prototype. Roger then 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.760 brought the whole team back at prototype, you see, and 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.159 the whole team paid for prototype, and the money that 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.279 went back to them went back to the is that 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.479 they mentor at PS two seventy two. And the reason 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.400 why I think this story is important is because this 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.279 is how group economics can help a community. For sure, 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.680 no one person had to be a billionaire, and you 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.560 and I at that time were forward from billionaires. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:14.000 He was. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.440 We weren't even thousands of thousand years at that point, 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.520 were still using the amex card front to front some 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:20.760 of our personal bills. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.960 That is not allowed, folks. We learned that quickly that 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:23.599 it wasn't allowed. 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:24.720 The square app. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.520 We're no longer allowed to use a square app because 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:26.760 of that. 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.960 But then you bring it forward, pay forward, forward and forward. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.520 Now Roger is our kids math mentor, Yes, and he 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.680 has our boys excelling beyond grade levels in math. And 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:42.280 shout out to to Roger, teacher man, teacher man, and 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.400 then also people who week since we've spoken about Roger, 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.159 so many people have also enlisted him to tutor their 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.080 children as well in math.

What we do is research, and 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.600 Rea and you quick with it. 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.840 So I think we'll be all right, Yeah right, we're 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.360 gonna put that out there on the vision board deserve. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:27.640 That's a great idea. Anyway, So some of mom Donnie's policies. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.520 I wonder if y'all have OP or not app about him. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.199 So he wants to do a multi year rent freeze 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.160 for rent stabilized apartment so that their rents don't raise. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.480 He wants to do zero price childcare, free water, energy, food, 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.800 and public transit that's going to be funded by taxpayers. 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.120 And he wants to push for a thirty dollars minimum 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.480 wage by twenty thirty. 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.960 I have an OP because Kadeen and I survived after 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.720 I retired from the NFL because of race rent stabilization, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:57.920 and we also survived because. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.480 Of upk UPK University Social free k. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.480 Because at the time we were looking for a place 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.920 to send our child and we were getting numbers between 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:06.920 fifteen hundred to three thousand dollars. 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:07.920 Just for quoity care. 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:10.439 And then you look at the zone that we're in 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:12.120 and the school that we were zoned to, and it's 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.720 just like, my god, I don't want my child to 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:15.719 have to go here every day. 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.480 So it's like, what are the options. 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.000 And don't tell me the city don't have the money. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.120 Because I just came back from New York and it's 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.800 a freaking camera, a speed camera on every corner. You 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.600 can't past thirty four miles per hour. So y'all would 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.600 get millions of dollars every day. Give that money back 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.880 to the people in New York from us. Man, let 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:33.679 our kids go to school for free, right, you know, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.200 I'm all thetabilize for a minute, man, So I'm with that. 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.559 That's my to do it, do it, And I think 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.560 that's why people were in favor of him. You know, 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.800 it seems like this is the approach he wants to take. 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.800 Now we just have to have him put his money 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:46.559 where his mouth. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.000 Is because he's still trying to do free mass transit. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:53.040 It's the bus, is he trying to Yeah? Bus? 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:58.600 Yeah, yeah, the buses are free. No, no, the buses 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:03.319 are free. Like he pays for the busy New York. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:10.920 Absolutely well, I paid for the bus raising it in January. 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.400 Okay. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.600 I never get on the bus when I'm in New York. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:18.480 I only take the train. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.199 I'm taking the bus, and if the train is way faster. 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.760 Yeah, same. I only used to take the bus when 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.640 there was no train option getting Kings Plaza back. 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.360 If I have to take the bus, I'm gonna just 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:28.960 get in an uber. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.520 My thing is I think it should be free transportation. 0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.760 You know why, free transportation would end up killing traffic 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.880 because then people would get on the train or bus. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:38.880 No one didn't get placed, and unless people would drive, 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.240 that would make congestion go down. And it's not like 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.520 you're gonna miss the money from mass transit. You're still 0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:45.080 robbing people on these cameras. 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.160 I don't know if it's just me, but I'm. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.800 Triggering man, and opened my waist apps and them cameras 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:50.760 are all over the place. 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.199 You can't even see the streets anymore. They're just laden 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.360 with cameras. Still as New York or Josh, I mean, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.400 I'm still in New York, y'all, don't act, don't I 0:12:58.520 --> 0:12:59.160 just stay here. 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:00.240 I just stay here. 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:05.600 I stay here, but stay here every day. But I 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:06.600 am a New Yorker. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.839 So how do you feel actually existing in New York? 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.640 Staying in New York every day? 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:12.960 New York is crazy, man. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:18.680 It's annoying to feel like you're in threat to spend 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.040 what like forty five hours every single time you get. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.960 In your car, every minimum, just minimum. Crazy. You might 0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:27.000 you might be speeding a little bit. 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:30.120 Yeah, And it sounds crazy to say, right, But I 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.960 think honestly, I think at thirty four, sorry, twenty five, 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.679 twenty five my power speed limit is it's insane. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.360 And last week they lowered certain areas to twenty. 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.120 They're trying to do the whole city to twenty. 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.480 Just understand, like I understand the idea behind it, right, 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.719 like I understand like trying to like visit visiit zero. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.480 I think what they called it, the initiative that. 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:52.200 Dazio started to reduce paredestional fatalities in New York. 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:54.000 I understand it. 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.240 But you're doing it on the backs of uh, it's 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.240 capitalism actually, like you're using that as a guy to 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.120 raise more money for the for the city of New York, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.120 which I mean, I hate talking about this, but I 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.400 don't even think we're actually seeing it as citizens of 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:08.880 New York. 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:09.319 I agree. 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:15.240 I don't think the the I mean, congestion tolling controls 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.280 is an issue as well. You have to speak cameras. 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.560 I feel like they put all these infrastructures in place 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.600 for raising funds, but you don't really see the residuals 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.280 as or the dividends as a citizen of the city. 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.040 So it's not so lit with me. Man, Mom, Donny 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:33.920 need to come in and do the things that he 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.760 promised for all. 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.280 The people, because we know there's certain groups of people 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:41.280 who have their own little situations built in that that they. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:45.280 Take advantage of. Absolutely, they take advantage of sources. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.600 I do think though, it's important for us as people 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.880 to acknowledge, like yo' all, y'all are taxing us heavy, 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:54.520 like New York City taxes, the state taxes is super high. 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.320 So yeah, as the people, we should be asking for 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:01.000 universal pre k, We should be asking for free travel 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:02.920 from Like these are things that I don't think is 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.200 so far fetched. If I got to spend forty five 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.200 to ninety dollars every time I get in the car 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.400 because I may go over the speed limit, I should be. 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:10.920 Able to get on the train for free. You know 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:12.520 what I'm saying. You're still gonna make the money. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.360 You're getting forty five dollars, and now now you don't 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.600 get my three dollars, you got forty five. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:18.160 You know what I'm saying. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:22.400 And I think I think also you're taxing the the 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.520 residents of the city for poor city planning and mismanagement, 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:27.280 right like. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:28.800 The infrastructure in New York. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.680 In New York is terrible, right, Like the training systems 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.680 it's early nineteen hundred is like running on like analog 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.280 systems from back then, right, and then you got like 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.960 poor city planning in terms of like how the dot 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.280 does the roads and all that other stuff. 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.760 So traffic is poor expressed still construction. 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:51.480 You need to reduce the cars because the amount of 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.040 cars that we have in the city is astronomical. Right now, 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:57.440 you're taxing us for us to get rid of these 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:58.040 cars now. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.200 But you know why, that's why a lot of politicians 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.240 don't like mcdonnie. He actually cares about the people. A 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:07.880 lot of the politicians only care about the bottom line. 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.320 So it's like all of these things that's poor planning 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.080 ain't really poor planning. You know how they say the 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:12.920 system is broken. 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:14.080 No, the system is. 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:17.680 Working exactly how it's supposed to. It's supposed to drain 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:19.760 all of the people, while the people at top who 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:21.800 manage the money get to say where the money is 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.440 going to go, and that money is going to go 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.360 to their pockets and their people. Mcdonnie is saying that 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:28.040 he's going to do right by the city. I just 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.240 hope that he follows through. 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:29.920 Absolutely. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.360 It's a difficult task. 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:31.560 Man. 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:35.040 You can't give free transportation in New York without having 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:37.160 a side effect to that, Like you're going to have 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.680 to open up two bus lanes on certain stretches, right, 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.520 Like they have to be able. 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:42.800
